Comment: Had a total reverse shoulder and left elbow replacement 4 years ago and was on 30mg MS every 12 hrs for breakthrough pain and 25mcg od Fentanyl for round the clock pain management. I was slowly weaned off with good results. Recently the pain started coming back and I take 10mg Roxicodone without Tylenol with 10mg of Flexeril 3x daily and the results are great !!

Comment: I take this for sudden, acute muscle spasms that I get in my back occasionally. It makes me sleepy, but also stops the spasm. I keep 10mg on hand but usually take a half unless the spasm is severe. No other side effects.

Comment:I have bad arthritis in my neck, and unfortunately have to use the computer a lot which aggravates it and causes muscle spasms throughout my neck and back. I got 3 shots of cortisone at the onset of this condition five years ago, which helped enormously, and was then on a huge amount of oxycodone for 18 months, as well as 30 mg of flexeril daily to calm spasming. I have continued to take the flexeril occasionally (5 mgs x 10 times a week?) for spasming pain and it is a life saver-- when I've overdone it or am tense and in pain, I can take it alone or sometimes in combination with ibuprofen and I can get a good night's sleep. No side effects whatsoever except one good one: it makes me less anxious. Hide Full Comment
